Dance Recital for VSDance
by Parker Yates on May.14, 2011, under Work
Today I headed to Dunnellon, FL to shoot three dance recitals for my new friend Salam Tims, whom I met shooting horse competitions for Catchride this spring. The dance company is called VSDance (Victoria’s School of Dance) and includes children in pre-k all the way up to highschoolers. It was a cool experience for me since I had never seen a dance recital before. There must have been over 100 people combined dancing in the three showings that day. Above is a screen grab from their shortened rendition of “Swan Lake.”
Clint Carleton: Conversations on the Path to Enlightenment
by Parker Yates on May.04, 2011, under Life, Work
This week I headed back down to the Orlando Convention Center to shoot for seasoned stuntman, Clint Carleton (“2012,” “Twilight,” “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy). Clint has begun a journey traveling the globe, talking with people that are on the path to enlightenment and see the world differently than most. His show is called “The Soulful Guide” and his mission is to share other people’s teachings with the rest of the world. This week was the Qi Revolution convention and had over 2,300 attendees. The final day was brought to a closing by a mesmerizing demonstration by a Qigong master, Master Zhou. Zhou can do many extraordinary things and has the ability to hold molten medal as well as stay submerged in freezing water for hours. Good luck to Clint on his journey to share his experiences with others! Above is a screen grab of Clint by the pond at OCC.
